She aims to bring him and the old gods back to their former glory, caring little that their ascendance will also mean an end to the human race. However, awakening the Leviathan is no small feat. In fact, Arahab can't complete the ritual without human aid. Arahab's first choice is Jos  Gaspar, a notorious sea pirate from eighteenth-century Spain. But when the task proves too difficult for Gaspar, she must look elsewhere, biding her time until the 1930's, when the ideal candidate shows up: a slightly deranged teenager named Bernice. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eBernice is \u003ci\u003esophisticated\u003c\/i\u003e, torn from New York and forced to spend a miserable summer on Anna Maria Island, a tiny rock off the coast of Florida. She's also been saddled with the companionship of her farm-raised cousin Nia. Eventually, Bernice's disenchantment gives way to rage and she commits a deadly crime. When Nia won't cover for Bernice, she turns on Nia, chasing her into the deadly coastal waves. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eBut the elementals have better ideas: the moment the girls go under, Bernice is commandeered for Arahab's task force, and Nia is turned into a strange and powerful creature by a servant of the earth who doesn't want to surrender his green fields and muddy plains--not \u003ci\u003eyet\u003c\/i\u003e, at least. Add in a hapless fire inspector who's just trying to get his paperwork in order, a fire god whose neutrality has been called into question, and a bizarre religious cult, and rural Florida doesn't seem quite so sleepy anymore. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eWith \u003ci\u003eFathom\u003c\/i\u003e, Cherie Priest brings her masterful writing and unforgettable characterization to the realm of near-contemporary rural fantasy. The result is fast-paced, stunning, and quite unlike anything you've ever read.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eCherie Priest\u003c\/b\u003e debuted to great acclaim with \u003ci\u003eFour and Twenty Blackbirds\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eWings to the Kingdom\u003c\/i\u003e, and \u003ci\u003eNot Flesh Nor Feathers\u003c\/i\u003e, a trilogy of Southern Gothic ghost stories featuring heroine Eden Moore.
